Our Practice in California

Dr. Ashley Chiang Tjoe grew up in South Pasadena, CA, and received her Bachelor of Science degree in human biology at the University of California, San Diego.

While obtaining her degree, Dr. Tjoe participated in many medical and optometric mission trips in Taiwan, Arizona, and Mexico with her church. Through her experiences helping people in need of basic medical care, she felt her calling to pursue a career in optometry and deepen her love of patient care.

Dr. Tjoe went on to receive her Doctorate of Optometry at Southern California College of Optometry. Her work experience includes Tripler VA in Honolulu, Camp Pendleton Naval Hospital in Oceanside, and University Eye Center at Los Angeles.

She is a comprehensive, glaucoma-certified optometrist, and her top priority is to provide comprehensive health care. Dr. Tjoe is an advocate for preventative care and patient education of eye diseases, which translates to her thorough eye exams, contact lens fittings, and ocular disease management.

When she is not working with eyes, Dr. Tjoe loves to cook, go on hikes/walks/bike rides with her husband, 2 small kids and fur kid. She has a passion for surfing and snowboarding, although it has been a while after kids, she can still hold her own on a longboard and ride goofy down a mountain if given the opportunity. She also loves to spend quality time in southern California with her family.

Dr. Tjoe looks forward to meeting you and is committed to providing you personalized eye care for many years to come.
